Food Thread - What are you eating?

True confession, I'd never heard of a cheese griller before. I take it is a type of sausage with cheese already mixed into it?

Yes, exactly that. Sausage like frankfurter but with pockets of cheese in it 

I think its originally from Germany and Austria but I always assumed it was common throughout the world 

[ShadySands]

It is fairly common but the name isn't

...cheese grillers...

I make these all the time. Ive tried experimenting by using "better" cheese like a nice sharp cheddar but I always go back to crappy old American Cheese because it has the best "melt". The other cheeses dont melt by the time the bread is toasted.  

EDIT: Woops, guess I should have read all the posts first. My grilled cheese doesnt have any meat.

I've never had grilled cheese for breakfast before, but its what I thought of when I read "Cheese griller".

[ShadySands]

I typically see them called cheese or sometimes the specific type of cheese-whatever kind of sausage or sometime just sausage depending on the brand and type. So it could be cheese dog or cheese sausage or cheddar brat or my personal favorite jalapeno cheddar sausage.

Grilled cheese sandwich is the first thing I thought of too

Oh, I understand the confusion. You guys assumed when I said " cheese griller " I meant toasted cheese sandwich 

A cheese griller is a type of sausage

See, I have never seen this name before either but it was much, much easier to parse.

Absolutely fantastic way to burn your lips, by the way. Melted cheese is a lot better at transferring heat to your skin than, say, meat.

I've always heard it referred to as [type of cheese] [type of meat when not pork] sausage. Besides, smoking sausage is much better than grilling it.

It can be good, but as @majestic says the cheese stays way hotter than the meat so you often get burned by cheese or you get cold(er) meat. I think jalapeño cheese is the best, but unlike @ShadySands I'd go with jack over cheddar.

But since sausage isn't super healthy, I ate some yogurt and granola.

Those cauliflower/egg round things make good "pizza things". So I've been toasting them first then adding the sauce, pepperoni, cheese, jalepeno's and spinich and top-broiling them. Went to make more today and ... the large tub of sauce I'd made was near gone. Stared at hubby.

"Oh...yeah. I forgot to tell you.  You're going to have to make more pizza sauce."  (it's not like he doesn't know how to make it himself...)

Last week he also ate my last piece of dark chocolate bar.
I think he needs some re-training lessons. 

Anyway ... it's nice to be able to eat "pizza" without much carb guilt.

Passed by the Greek bakery close to my house, total madhouse inside, but got some Kok (the store called it Koki)

For an English speaker a somewhat unfortunate term, but that was a very good pastry.

Emmenthal is a good choice of cheese for your standard cheese griller because of how the taste improves when heated  and its well known to be a good cheese to melt , you Austrians never disappoint when it comes to gastronomy 

Thats another thing I love about cheese generally how different cheeses taste and textures improve when melted

Okay watch this video and try to guess the secret sausage ingredient and then ask yourself " would you eat that " ?

I found my new favorite wing sauce:

Not very spicy, but that's easily adjusted if necessary. I love the slight hint of cilantro.

Looks great, I know we have all discussed this before but I love my hot sauces. I normally have at least 6-10 different types in my fridge and cupboard and I am always prepared to try something new

And I am always loyal to favorites like Tabasco and Louisiana really does seem to have the best variety of hot sauces in the US  and you get most of the sauces below  in SA

My new favorite hot sauce has been Jersey Barnfire black garlic hot sauce because I really enjoy the flavor and my all time favorite is Red Devil from Trappey's and I use it for everything, especially wings.

I don't like hot sauces that are all burn and cover the taste of the food.

[Malcador]

Homemade scotch bonnet sauce works for me, insanely hot pepper for me but in a sauce it's ok.  Fun experience to try - cook with scotch bonnets and bite into one in your dish.

One of the worst food things is where it's so hot you can't actually taste the food. In my experience it's usually the novelty hot wings or crawfish, which is easy enough to avoid at least.

I can't find the black garlic hot sauce, but they have a black garlic bacon one. Have you tried that and is it ok?

[ShadySands]

I haven't tried the bacon one yet, sorry

Scotch bonnet is above my normal heat range, I generally stop at serrano, but not so far out of my range that I couldn't be coaxed into trying it under the right circumstances. You get into ghost pepper territory and you'll need to hand me a hundred dollar bill to even consider eating it.

I need to try making artichokes like this. I've always just cooked them with no embellishment and ate them with a little mayo-based dipping sauce. Also, watching this lady, like for many others, is kinda like watching/listening to my grandma. She is/was precious (she passed some years ago at age 98). Her grandson did the filming.

Jersey Barnfire black garlic bacon hot sauce. It's a smokey heat with a slow burn, black garlic is subtle. Breddy gud.
